I love exploring! Probably goes back to my backpacking days in my 20's when I backpacked my way around the world. And yes, I even love exploring my own city. It's amazing how many Seattle'ites will tell me they've never been to the arboretum, Lincoln Park, Seward Park, Chism Beach, rode the West Seattle Ferry, been on the Great Wheel, or went on the Ride The Ducks boat tour. This was one of those sunny warm days when I went and explored a neighborhood in Seattle in more depth. Can you guess which neighborhood I'm in?

Just a side note for non-travelers, "backpacking" does NOT refer to camping. Backpacking refers to living out of your backpack for months at a time. I typically stayed in hostels or cheap hotels in Asia where hostels are not very common. Most of the accommodations I stayed at were a hundred times worse than any homeless shelter you will find here in the States.

What a lovely flight it was, especially compared to my last trip where the airline destroyed my luggage. The weather could be a bit better but at least it's nice & hot and I enjoyed a dip in the pool this evening. So far my trip to Houston is starting off just great and looking forward to having a spankingly good time ;)
